I don’t think you should be sorry or feel guilty, you did what you could. That is the best any of us can do.

I am pretty sure it was blackmail when my son worked hard to destroy the garage apartment we had built for him. He had made a request that we would only agree to if he took meds. He/scz won that round.
Oh my God… I wish the strength to be used in constructive behaviors & choices…

Stick to your guns about not letting or wanting your brother in law to stay w you and your husband. Who cares if he hates you? If he was in his right mind, he would know that it’s better for everyone to have their own places.
Good luck!

I just wish I could sleep well, everything would be better if I could feel rested. I’ve tried everything, but I just can’t sleep enough.

I have problems with sleep as well… Melatonin kind of helps some, but I still don’t get much sleep… for several reasons… my ADHD brain is often busy at night… I wake up frequently with dry mouth due to my biPAP for my sleep apnea… and just the amount of sleep I get because of having to get up early.
I understand.
My overall health is suffering, as is my own mental state. To get help from the VA for insomnia, I have to see the psych dept myself. Then I can possibly do a sleep study at the VA hospital. My appointment is next week with the psych.

I feel lucky when I don’t dream, or don’t remember the dreams. I have been confused on awakening sometimes as I feel I am still stuck in the dream.

@Kayo My son yelled a lot the last year he lived next to us. It was hard, we felt like we were being terrorized. The hardest part was that it could happen at any time of day. He would wake us up yelling outside our window at 2am. One morning at 6am I walked into the living room and he was right outside the patio door and he started yelling at me. The unexpected yelling at us like that made it feel like we were under siege.
It feels like under siege because it is just that.
I am so sorry you have to go through this hell
